White Mountains Community College is the new name of what originally started out more than 40 years ago as the N.H. Community Vocational Technical College.
The Governor and Executive Council yesterday approved name changes for most of the state’s community colleges. The new names are part of a plan to broaden the scope of the state’s two year colleges which last year became self-governing.
